Synopsis
"I suppose you know who I am? I was in charge of the actions in Germany and Poland and Czechoslovakia. I am prepared to sell you one million Jews: Goods for blood . . . Blood for goods." These were the chilling words uttered by one of the most notorious Nazi bureaucrats, SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann, to a young Jewish businessman called Joel Brand in the spring of 1944. Brand embarked on a desperate mission to persuade the Allies to barter with Eichmann--and failed. 400,000 Hungarian Jews were taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau packed in cattle trains, gassed, and then incinerated. For decades after 1945, many blamed the Allies for callously abandoning a million Hungarian Jews to their fate. Christopher Hale presents a new account of the "Brand Mission" based on evidence in the national archives of Germany, Hungary, Britain and the U.S. Hale reveals that Eichmann's offer formed one part of a monstrous deception designed to outwit the leaders of the last surviving Jewish community in Europe. The deception was more complex and--from the German point of view--more successful than any equivalent operation mounted by the British secret service., The first book to tell the complete story of Adolf Eichmann's plan to deceive the last Jews of Europe, 'Over the years I learned which hooks to use to catch which fish ... Hungary really offered the Jews to us like sour beer, and Hungary was the only country where we could not work fast enough.' - ADOLF EICHMANNIn the spring of 1944, Adolf Hitler ordered German troops to occupy Hungary.A special SS unit led by Adolf Eichmann arrived in Budapest. Its purpose? To deport hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. They had already murdered millions of European Jews in occupied Poland.On the eve of this destruction, a group of Hungarian Zionists known as the 'Va'ada', led by Joel Brand and Rezsö Kasztner, began negotiating with the SS to save lives. Then Eichmann made an astonishing offer: to ransom 'a million Jews for 10,000 trucks ... Blood for trucks'. Brand was flown to Istanbul to negotiate with the Allies. But Brand's mission failed, and he was imprisoned as a 'German agent' by the British in Cairo. Meanwhile, in Brand's homeland, Eichmann and his Hungarian collaborators got to work. Every day, 12,000 men, women and children were herded into cattle trucks and dispatched to their terrible fate.But was Eichmann's perplexing offer made in good faith? What was his real motivation? Deception explores the murky reasons behind Eichmann's plot and unveils a dastardly scheme of murderous deceit.
